Course
Content

The degree will cover all the fundamental principles of mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering, with each aspect – ranging from fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to power transmission and microcontrollers – being focused on the impact of products, systems and processes on the environment and on making those products (and their manufacture, packaging and distribution) more sustainable. The latter stages of the course will cover cutting-edge 21st century technologies – smart materials, smart manufacturing, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, simulation and virtualisation – mainly through problem-based learning.

  • DBS checks, where required, are included in the fees.
  • The cost of all assessments at first attempt are included in your course fees, but if you do not pass at first attempt you will be responsible for resit fees, at a cost of £40 per module.
  • The Engineering department run an annual field trip abroad and whilst this is not a compulsory part of the programme, it is educationally relevant. Students are asked to make a contribution towards the costs of this trip, normally around £200-250. Students will also be asked to make an additional contribution towards food, which varies depending on the duration of the trip.
